Pinterest Success!

After last month's Pinterest FAIL Kitchen, I was a little discouraged about Pinterest.In fact, I didn't even go on Pinterest for a whole week.I was so bitter about my Pinterest Fails, that I was skeptical about Pinterest.But, luckily, I snapped out of it & came to my senses and got sucked into Pinterest again.So, all is right in the world, again.I was very selective with what I decided to make for this month's Pinterst Test Kitchen.I didn't want to have more Fails.I am happy to say, this month was a Pinterest Success!

Place the butter and the brown sugar in a bowl and cream together on medium speed until a smooth batter is formed. While the machine is running, add the eggs and vanilla extract.

Sift together 3 cups flour and baking powder. Slowly add the flour mixture to the batter and mix on low speed until a dough is formed. Very gently fold the chips and nuts into the dough with a spoon or spatula.

Once the dough is all blended, spray a 9 x 13 pan with Pam or cooking spray. Spread the batter into the pan and place in the preheated oven.

5. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until set yet still moist. Don't over bake or they will be too dry. Let the bars cool & then cut them up!

Enjoy!These were really yummy (and rich).I love all things white chocolate & macadamia and these bars passed the test!{Slightly modified from the original recipe found here}

The other Pinterest project I did was something that one of my friends pinned & I saw it on my Pinterest Feed.I didn't pin it because I saw it & immediately knew I could make it right then...So I did!It took me less than 10 minutes to make. Sweet!It is an important dates print that I made in Photoshop, printed on a printer & stuck in a frame I already had!Ta-da:I LOVE it. I put it in our Guest Room.I love that this print is visible in our upstairs hallway.As a math teacher, I just love numbers and I especially love numbers that are significant & important to families lives.I am thinking this would be a fun gift that I could make for people for Christmas or after they have their final baby! Easy, inexpensive & meaningful!Now available in my Etsy Shop!
